i wish i knew how to react
today my wife call me over to the dining room window to show me something out side .as we're looking a quad goes streaking by on the street. i know of the quad because i see the kid riding it on the street to the open Field 1 house down(a small dirt bike, quad track there). i know of the kid as new to the neighborhood, about 6 months or so (his parents rent a house around the corner) my wife says "thats Sarah on the back of that thing!". i mean this kid(12 of so) has to be doing like 50 or 60 on the street, no helmets or lights or anything. so i look out the window and wait for them to come back (we live in a no outlet community). there he goes by again this time with 3 people (him and 2 passengers)and yes one is my daughter. so my wife says "if i didn't have a few beers in me i get in the car and really give it to him" so me being sober go out side to try to divert disaster and stop this fool kid. as i start my car i hear them coming down the street(wide open i might add) and stand by the side of the road and put up my hand to stop them. well they stop about 50 feet down the road cus hes going so fast, i walk over to them and proceed to let this kid have it verbally. my girl(shes 12) jump off and tells me shes never coming home and storms off and now my wife says i over reacted and I'm wrong. he could have killed her and with no insurance that could be a big problem. his parents have no money . kids don't listen unless you put a little fear in them and i doubt that they will do it again , i can be pretty scary sometimes but better scared than dead. now I'M the bad guy!
